the boundary wall and a massive pillar about fourteen feet in height remains
now, the precincts now being inhabited. His mausoleum still stands in the
city but is in a bad state of preservation. The Jat
raja, Surajmal, killed near the city by the Rohillas in 1763. An encounter between the freedom fighters
